MAIL STATION BREAK-IN AND PHONE SCAM
MAIL STATION BREAK-IN
Sometime early AM on Wednesday, 01/05/22 some person(s) unknown forced open the mailbox on Bidwell just off Sun City Blvd. Bidwell Ln is a short street with no houses. The amount of mail lost is yet to be determined. The post office has installed a brand-new mail station at that location.
REMINDER: The cluster mailboxes are not very secure. Never leave outgoing mail in your mail station overnight!
POST USPS OUTGOING MAIL AT:
- Post Office at 200 Gateway Dr
- Big blue box in Orchard Creek Lodge parking lot
- Big blue box in the shopping center across from Orchard Creek Lodge
TO REPORT A MAIL STATION BREAK-IN, CALL IN THIS ORDER:
- Postal Inspector 877 876-2455
- Lincoln Police 916 645-4040
- Lincoln Post Office 916 434-8144
- NW Barry Johnson 916 434-6538
If you see any suspicious activity around the mailboxes or anywhere in the community, call the Lincoln Police immediately. Emergency call 911, non-emergency call 916 645-4040.
Try to obtain as much information as possible before calling the police. If there is a vehicle involved, the license plate number is most important, then make, model and color.
PHONE SCAM
One of our residents was contacted by a scammer who pretended to be from a rental car company and the scammer convinced the resident to send money. There is no further information at this time.
If you receive a phone call from a person or number you do not recognize, just let your answering machine take the message. When you receive an email and you do not know the sender, just delete the email. Never click on an unknown website! It could give a scammer access to your computer. When in doubt, contact a relative, friend or neighbor for advice.
